On April 12, 2025, the usually bustling REXKL was transformed into a vivid playground of colour, comfort, and creativity. The debut of Sitting in Colour—a collaboration between Joey Sofa and Rexperience—redefined what an exhibition could feel like. Guests weren’t just invited to look; they were encouraged to play, touch, lounge, and express.
Where Colour Speaks Louder Than Words
At the heart of the experience was a visual celebration of Joey Sofa’s eight signature colourways. The theme? That colour isn’t just aesthetic—it’s emotional. Through curated installations and ambient lighting, the space transformed into a gallery of moods, each corner designed to reflect joy, introspection, or playfulness.
Interactive Zones That Let You Do More Than Just Sit
The event cleverly blended form and function through several hands-on features:
- Glow Portraits: A light installation that captured each person’s essence in dreamy technicolour.
- Wall of Colour: Guests left notes and voted for their favourite hues—sparking joyful debate.
- Live Embroidery Station: Visitors personalised keepsake pouches stitched on the spot.
- Surprise Joey Blindboxes: A whimsical giveaway where lucky guests took home a piece of comfort.
And yes, the star of the show—the Joey Sofas themselves—were laid out for the lounging. Visitors pieced them together, tested their modular charm, and proved comfort can be playful too.
A Celebration of Expression, Connection, and Design
This wasn’t just an event—it was a statement. The show attracted a diverse crowd including media, influencers, and design lovers. Many lingered long after their time slots, lounging, laughing, and soaking in the mellow vibes. As co-founder Joey Tan aptly put it, “Comfort is deeply personal, and colour is the most human way to express it.”
Beyond the Home: Joey Sofa Steps into the Design World
Sitting in Colour represents more than a one-off collaboration. It marks Joey Sofa’s evolution from home furniture brand to creative design voice. By weaving in community, creativity, and emotion, the brand boldly steps beyond living rooms and into experiential art.
Still Want to Experience It?
You’re in luck. The exhibition lives on until October 12, 2025 at REXKL, as part of Rexperience’s rotating showcase. The Joey Sofas will remain on display—so you can still sink in, slow down, and see how colour changes everything.
